Returning a missed phone call from an unknown number led Georgia coach Mark Richt to be barred from making recruiting calls for a week last September, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Richt thought he missed a call from the mother of an East Hall High recruit, but the number belonged to a younger player at North Hall High. He committed a secondary violation by talking to that younger player then.

Perhaps because it’s necessary, the NCAA recruiting rulebook is deep and at times peculiar.
